The imperial edict, which aimed to order Empress Qian to suicide, had accused her of murdering an imperial concubine. The victim was a young and beautiful royal mistress who had just entered the palace less than half a year ago.
The victim was just a royal mistress, but the Empress had murdered her at the cost of her life. What's more, the royal mistress was born in an ordinary family, so even the ministers thought that the Emperor shouldn't order the Empress to suicide for such a common woman. But perhaps His Majesty doted on the royal mistress very much, so he insisted on ordering the Empress to suicide.
What's more, the Crown Prince was implicated. The Emperor regarded him as "the son of a bitch" and "an extremely unfilial son". Like his lineal eldest brother, his title of the Crown Prince was deposed, and he was shut down in a desolate courtyard.
This Crown Prince didn't commit suicide, but he died because of melancholy some years later. He
After Wei Changying and Song Zaishui sat into the carriage and put down the gauze curtains, Wei Changfeng said to the guard, "Ask that person to talk to me."Since that person wanted to climb the hill and appreciate the stele, he wouldn't refuse Wei Changfeng's invitation.Having seen the person in white coming towards them with the guard, both Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were surprised and said, "What? He's a commoner?" White clothes were not dyed, so they were usually cheap. Therefore, commoners were always in white.The girls knew that the society in this dynasty was so rigidly stratified that people respected the gentry and suppressed the commoners. Although some commoners had become officials in the Royal Court, those positions with most power and status would never belong to them.Also, even if the commoners had their property, they couldn't compare to the gentries. Without a distinguished family background and wealth, how
Even if Wei Huan did not remind them, Old Madam Song and Madam Song would also suspect that Song Zaishui was faking it up. But such a suspicion could neither be supported with any evidence nor be asked directly. This Miss had even done the thing such as self-destructing her appearance. If they actually pushed her too hard, God knows what was going to happen.They held back from taking action for fear of making things worse so that things got stagnated.Madam Song, as Song Zaishui's lineal Granny, was indeed afraid that something bad really happened to her niece. While she was also suspecting that Song Zaishui was just pretending to be sick, she still discussed with Old Madam Song, "If Zaishui is not faking it up, Shall we just let her go back to the capital as soon as possible? So as not to miss the best timing of treatment? It is true that we do not have famous doctors here who are good at treating traumatism."Hearing "miss the best timing of
Seeing that Song Zaishui was so anxious that her face turned pale, Wei Changying didn't know what to do and hurriedly asked the guard outside the curtain, "Since Mr. Deng has sent a message for the second cousin, does the second cousin have any good way to solve this problem?"When Song Zaishui heard that, she also stopped crying and listened eagerly.The guard said respectfully, "Mr. Deng said that under this circumstance, Miss must not marry into the royal family. Otherwise, there will be no good results!"Wei Changying said hurriedly, "This is needless to say! Just tell me if the second cousin has any solutions!""Mr. Deng said one solution, but..." the guard said with hesitation.Song Zaishui suddenly lost her temper and heavily slapped the table. She said angrily, "Why are you still so wordy at this moment? Since my second brother has a plan to ask Mr. Deng to bring it to me, why do you hesitate to tell? Even if t
Although Madam Song told her daughter to keep it from Old Madam Song, within a few days, Deng Zongqi's unknown background still came from the capital. Looking at the letter saying that Deng Zongqi was protected a lot by the Honored Consort, Old Madam Song frowned tightly. She raised her head and told Madam Song, "Since Deng Zongqi has ulterior motives, it's necessary to add more staff in his yard."Madam Song nodded, "I will tell the manager in the outer courtyard.""He saved Changying, and it was our family who sent Changfeng to invite him to come home to recuperate. Though we have found that he has ulterior motives, it's not good for Changying’s reputation if we drive him out like this." Old Madam Song thought for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on him. Don't fall into his trap carelessly."Old Madam Song added when Madam Song was about to continue to promise, "Well, keep an eye on Zaishui."Madam Song was nervous and said with a
After seeing Deng Zongqi personally, Madam Song called Song Zaishui and Wei Changying the next day and spoke to them frankly, "This marriage must be stopped. Although the reply from Jiangnan has not arrived yet, I expect that they would feel the same about this. According to Honored Consort Deng, on the birthday of Lady Zhong there would be a bad omen in the palace—Since the Honored Consort's Zhaohua Palace is situated in the south of the Imperial Palace, the Empress and Lady Zhong would have their men do some tricks over it when the time comes."After a pause, Madam Song continued, "The First Prince was impeached because he was exposed by the abolished Empress Qian for using witchcraft to curse His Majesty! Therefore, if His Majesty were to consider the Honored Consort as a bad omen, even if he wouldn’t abrogate her as the Honored Consort, the Deng Family's status would suffer greatly from now on, especially for the life of the only Prince of the Deng Family who could
"So is my eldest cousin here too?" Wei Changying knew that Song Zaitian was coming, but she was going to see Shen Zhou today. She was so nervous that she forgot Song Zaitian. At that moment, she was reminded by Old Madam Song. She rolled her eyes and saluted respectfully. "I often heard my mother talking about my uncle and two cousins. But I was too young and forgot. I thought I would see you in the future. Unexpectedly, I have the chance to see you now."Compared with her meeting with Shen Zhou, Wei Changying was closer to Song Zaitian, but she didn't offend Shen Zhou. After all, Wei Changying hadn't got married yet. Even if she was already a member of the Shen Family in name and Shen Zhou just said this, however, a daughter of an eminent family needed to have a reserved manner before getting married, which showed her dignity as the lineal daughter of the Wei Family.What's more, Shen Zhou was an elder, and it was the first time that they had met. With the
Wei Changying felt funny, and she asked, "Has it reached such a point?""In this way, His Majesty would not promote them to leave Fengzhou." Wei Changfeng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Although we still have ways to deal with them, even if they leave Fengzhou, it would be better to keep them in Fengzhou."Although his tone was light, he couldn't cover his worries. Wei Changying turned to him curiously and asked, "What are you worrying about?"Wei Changfeng looked around. Granny Shi immediately told the outsiders to leave. Madam Song also asked with concern, "Changfeng, what's the matter?""Mo Binwei is unwilling to work for us." Wei Changfeng sighed helplessly.Hearing this, Madam Song frowned. Wei Changying asked with surprise, "Why? Is it because of Song Han and Song Duan?" She didn't care about this kind of matters of the front yard. She thought it was settled long ago. According to common sense, Mo Binwei wa
Shen Zhou had stayed in Fengzhou for ten days, and now he had to return to the capital. Song Zaitian had come with Shen Zhou, but he was not an envoy. His destination was as same as Shen Zhou's, and he had already asked for a leave, so he needed not to return to the capital with Shen Zhou....Before Shen Zhou left Fengzhou, Deng Zongqi had already set off to Qingzhou as soon as he had recovered a bit, so as to catch up with his companions.Song Zaitian and Song Zaishui stayed in Fengzhou in the name of visiting relatives. They tacitly waited for the Standby Guards to return to the capital. At the beginning of August, Gu Yiran and his companions eventually arrived in Fengzhou. When the servants in the Wei Family passed on the news to the rear hall, Old Madam Song asked, "Did they find Lady Zhong's relatives?""There are two carriages which didn't appear when they set off." the servant said as he put down his hands, "According to the style of the
The pills made by Ji Zhaosi himself and specifically used for hanging lives are extraordinary exactly.Huang asked Wei Changying to bring two pills, which were taken by Shen Shuxie and Shen Jingshi respectively. However, after half an hour, the two nephews and uncle, whose breath was originally weak, breathed clearly and evenly!Even before the high fever has been unrelenting Shen Jingshi, actually began to retreat from the heat!Although it was said that this one pill could not heal them immediately, and it might not even be able to guarantee that they would definitely survive.But ...... Shen stack wiped tears and cried and laughed, "Ji Shen doctor road is delayed again, and then there are at most ten days of light will be able to arrive!"The doctor who was called over to treat the uncle and nephew after taking the medicine said, "The second son and the second grandson are now revitalized, and if they take some more warming and tonic medicines. If th
Wei Changying rushed into the house in a hurry.Because the snow hadn't melted yet, and she was in a hurry, her foot slipped when she went up the steps, and she fell and knocked on the top step."Sister Wei, be careful!" Gu Rouzhang, who was running over with her skirt, shouted in shock and was about to rush forward to help her, but Wei Changying quickly stood up after the fall and went into the house as if nothing had happened.However, the remaining snow on the steps had been dyed blood red under this knock!A trail of blood dripped all the way into the house with Wei Chang Ying's steps!Gu Rouzhang's gaze paused on the blood before she came to her senses and turned back to instruct Shi Man'er, "Go to the car and bring Sister Wei's package!"Shi Man'er fearfully raised the things she was holding in her hands, "The maidservants brought it with them when they got off the bus.""Keep your voice down and follow me in to take a look." Gu Rouzha
Three days later, 5,000 Western Liang horsemen arrived to welcome Wei Chang Ying's aunt and nephew back to the camp.Originally, there was still a last shred of fantasy in his heart, but when he saw the leader of these 5,000 elite soldiers, a lieutenant who claimed to be named Cai Qingzhi, coming up to the hall in onyx, Wei Changying understood everything the news that Shen Bo had been executed by Pei Jie and the others privately was still unknown, and since it was not to observe the filial piety of the Son of Heaven, who else was qualified to receive this onyx of the Xiliang army, except for Shen Xuanyuan? Who else in the world is qualified to receive this onyx besides Shen Xuan?This is nothing less than proof that Shinbo's words that day, or at least part of what he said, were in no way a lie.Wei Changying was like falling into a freezing cellar in an instant!She grabbed her sleeve in death, and was silent for ten or so breaths before she let Cai Qingzhi
Although the news brought by Shen Bo had left the crowd in a state of shock and anger, the rendezvous with Mo Binwei was more or less a relief.Before they easily escaped from the pursuit of the Rong people, and then settled in Changxian not that they are willing to stay in Changxian, but is listening to Shi Lin said that the left side of the county is also Changxian because of the remoteness of the land, there is no big family, so instead of the peace more.With the Rong people to the north and bandits to the south, there's really no other safer way than to wait for news here.And the news that Schilling was told to poke around never did ......Now Mo Binwei with the Wei family's three thousand elite cavalry to come, naturally do not have to Wei family of those doing business with a good hand to continue to rush ducks on the shelf as a scout, there are after Mo Binwei coaching of tough scouts to do this errand.So Mo Binwei stationed in Changxian Count
"...... Zhu Chengyi is the person who served my birth mother back then. After my birth mother was murdered for the abolitionist Gu, I occasionally took advantage of my foster mother's lack of preparation and went to the palace where she had lived to reminisce, and often saw him secretly burning incense and praying for my birth mother in the corner. Later, my foster mother lost favor, I live in the Jia Mu Palace, Zhu Chengyi frugal saving a meager monthly fee to me, I still remember when I was ten years old in the Jia Mu Palace in the snow like a mat, freezing cold, Zhu Chengyi did not wear a fur coat, freezing and shivering from the corner of the door to look for me in no one's place hard to plug his pawn fur coat of silver money to me, said that is afraid that I have been deducted from the royal son of the part of the case, hurt the body ... ... ...When he was about to part, he was in his prime but appeared to be trembling due to the lack of clothing to protect him from the cold an
Dusk, the remnants of the sun like blood, to the icy sky and snow gilded like gold and blood light.Mo Binwei, dressed in military attire and dusty, followed Pei Jie into the inner courtyard.Although this mansion, which was already a first-class courtyard in Chang County, could not meet the eyes of the real nobles, it was tidied up quite neatly by Shi Lin's commanders.At this moment, the snow in the courtyard were broom swept carefully, the ground brick was frozen into a pale green color. But the corner of the yard quietly spit stamens of a red plum by the north wind blew down a few buds fell on it, the pale more pale, red more colorful, but it looks like a picture.Dark fragrance filled the court, but see the corridor under the two with plain dresses of young girls, playful and bright, is whispering.Noticing that Gu Xi Nian had brought someone with her, Shi Jian'er and Shi Qing'er busily rose and saluted, "Mr. Gu!"Gu Xi Nian raised her stage
"They didn't land in Jiu County, or even enter the city at all, before continuing south?" In Chang County, in the afternoon, there was a foot of snow in the court, and ice prisms reached the ground under the eaves.However, because the house was burning with an underground dragon, Wei Chang Ying was only wearing a jacket. She was dressed in onyx, not adorned with jewelry, but her natural beauty still made the few young Shi daughters who served her look down on her.But Wei Changying, who had already put on her mother-in-law's mourning dress, was not in the mood to congratulate herself on her jade-like appearance.Through the embroidered curtain, she listened to the report of Shi Lin, who had rushed to Jiuxian County without stopping to find out the news and then rushed back, and her eyes gradually became heavy, "You go, and invite all the people who traveled with me to come over, in addition to Sister Deng, Jing'er, and the entourage!"Shi Lin heard the skept
Mo Binwei escorted Wei Xin Yong back to Fengzhou to take revenge, and originally agreed to return to the capital immediately after killing Wei Qi.Then Wei Xinrong would assist Shen Bo, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, to ascend to the throne, and then of course, he would gain high rank and salary by taking his own merits from the dragon, and then vigorously cultivate Mo Bunwei his birth mother died early, and his relationship with his family was not good, and the Crown Prince was too short a period of time for him to develop any deep roots, so there was no one available to him in any respect. Available, Wei Xin Yong and Mo Bunwei such and real learning, but no reliable background of the young talent, it is Shen Bo's dream of the right arm.According to Wei Xin Yong's previous plan, with the help of the Shen Bo emperor's identity, he and Mo Binwei a literary and military cultivation of power, the existence of Wei for a year to cultivate a year of course, he wi
Taking advantage of the light of setting up camp, Mo Binwei walked into the tent that had been specially erected for Wei Xinrong, who had not yet recovered from his illness.The tent is lit with two wind lamps, Wei Xin Yong's feet, there is a delicate mythical beast gilt furnace, the furnace burning the best silver frost charcoal, warm, but do not see half a bit of smoke and fire atmosphere.This is a disease for many years of Rui Yu Hall six old master than a year ago, thin not a little two points, the whole person even some form of bone meaning. Originally fair face through a strange pallor, more and more appear his eyes cold as a cold pool, bottomless.Not only that, the weariness between his brows was very obvious, making Mo Binwei very worried for him, "Mr. Wei, but today's march was too long?""There's no harm in it." Wei Xinrong sipped the hot ginseng tea in the tinu, shook his head slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "My physique is too wea
